Ah I see, so this is from a fresh .iso image
I can give you're suggestion a try(need to locate a blank cd)
keep in mind the .iso might not have x86 support i.g.
I use nubuntu(why: it's small) one of the problems I was facing was
the alpha release, which did not support x86(when using that .iso image
it would start booting and then spit out a bunch of messages vertically,
but a few month's later they released there .iso with support thus
giving me the opportunity to use it.
This might be what you are dealing with.
